Just wrapped up a Caiman tail inlay holster. I call this model a dual snapcake. This one is for the XD 9/40 Service model.

Front piece is 2 layers of 4-5oz Hermann Oak. The piece that was removed for the inlay window was trimmed 1/4" on each side then glued to the inside piece of leather to create a "puff" for the exotic. It was beveled heavily with a French Edger before the caiman was glued on top and then the top piece of HO leather. It takes a few minutes to figure out the plan to stitch this all together. The rear piece of the holster is 8-9oz Hermann Oak. Fiebings Pro Oil Dye in black, then a 2:1 ratio mix of Springfields Pro Clear and water.

Feel free to comment or ask questions. Thanks for looking

Beautiful work!

I like the look of no retention/molding.

Sweet!

"Courage brother, do not stumble, though thy path be dark as night: There is a star to guide the humble, trust in God, and do the right. Let the road be dark and dreary and its end far out of sight. Face it bravely, strong or weary. Trust God, and do the right." - General Norman Schwarzkopf
